Other Imperial Organisations

Inquisition - Secret police and internal affairs organisation; they are responsible for investigating any potential threat to mankind or the Imperium. Its agents hunt down heretics, traitors, alien infiltrators, and even daemons. They necessarily exist beyond the Adeptus Terra, as part of the Inquisition's role involves rooting out corruption and gross incompetence from the Imperium itself. They answer only to the Emperor and to themselves.

Articles of Note

Adeptus Terra

The Adeptus Terra, also known as the Priesthood of Earth, is the central organisation of the Imperium, to which most of the Imperium's other official departments and organisations belong. Only the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition are not formally a part of the Adeptus Terra.

Departments of the Adeptus Terra

The most important and well-known Imperial organisations include:

The Administratum - Responsible for administrative functions, it is the largest division, numbering countless scribes and petty officials. It administrates the Imperium at every level, assessing tithes and taxes, conducting population censuses, recording and planning. It consists of innumerable subdivisions, offices and departments.

Departmento Munitorum - A department of the Administration, responsible for administering and supplying the Imperial Guard.
